Just remember, Ladies, that by training week #4, which is usually about bootcamp week #5, there is a real turnaround for them. That is the week that they start feeling so much more positive about everything and know that graduation is just around the corner for them. You will see this change in their letters and phone calls! Then the excitement begins!

He passed physical training test and he had a big test on Tuesday of this week . He is trying really hard to become a Section Leader. He cant wait for Graduation. What a awesome letter. Lots of things going on. He even wrote his Gradmother she was so excited on the phone when she called me. Good day today. I just keep praying for him everday to do his very best. Go Navy!

So I am trying to get a list going of what I will need for graduation. So far I have read bring binoculars. I thought I saw somewhere no video but I could be wrong. What are we allowed to bring for the graduation? Camera's? And how dressed
up do we get for the graduation? I am a sweatshirt and jeans girl so I know I will have to purchase something. I have gotten
my enhanced license because we are driving through Canada. From where we live it will be less miles and hrs. I know I have
also read the up to a certain age they do not have to be on the list. Was wondering about bringing my 7yr old because she misses her brother soo much. A lot of questions.. Sorry

I got a short letter last Wednesday and yes its been 2 weeks since I talked to him. When he wrote he scribbled over his dog tags. I sure do miss him. 16 days time is going fast but I am feeling sad today, You get used to them being around and talking to them everyday or even yelling about something lol. They are growing up and making a better life for themselves. I love my Son just like the rest of you. Sorry but I am missing him today
